Sorry I have not been able to add anything here for a while.  End of school, travel and personal life has kept me very busy.  I do have a little teaser though.  I am Akureyri Iceland right now and was able to get out an play a little 9 hole course here. Akureyri is only 60 km south of the artic circle, making this course one of the northern most courses in the world (a couple in Norway and one other in Iceland beat it). The course plays around an elementary school which is settled in between a couple of low basalt ridges (between 3-15 million years old).  Many holes on the course overlook the eyjafjodur fjord , which was carved by glaciers when they covered the entire island.
